Americans who are protecting children from transgenderism and irreversible surgery are hysterical, prejudiced, cruel, and terroristic, President Joe Biden said in a scripted response to a question at a White House event. Biden promised from the White House podium that he would champion new rights for the often-contradictory demographic of varied “LGBT” people, saying: Our fight is far, far, from over because we have some hysterical, and I would argue prejudiced people, who are engaged in all what you see what’s going on around the country. It’s an appeal to fear and it’s an appeal that is totally, thoroughly unjustified....

It’s a rare day when we get to say something nice about Europe when it comes to social issues, particularly when comparing those nations to the United States. But there is one area where they are leading the way and leaving America in the dust. Multiple European countries over the past year or more have conducted thorough scientific research resulting in policies that largely ban transgender “medical care” for children. The latest to join the crowd was Norway. They have now ruled that professional guidance encouraging puberty blockers or sex-change surgery for children should be “restricted to research settings only.”...

At the risk of raining on the June parades, it’s timely to recall that transgender medicine is controversial for a reason June is LGBTQI+ Pride month. US President Biden has proclaimed it as Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, and Intersex Pride Month. “We must support LGBTQI+ activists around the globe,” he declared.

To the consternation of the Vatican, even the US Embassy to the Holy See is displaying a flag. The most controversial of all the letters,...

Presidential candidate Donald Trump is promising a federal investigation into the risks of crime from the use of “transgender” drugs and hormones and mind-bending psychiatric drugs. “Upon my inauguration, I will direct the FDA [Food and Drug Administration] to convene — and it’s going to happen quickly — to convene an independent outside panel to investigate whether transgender hormone treatments and ideology increase the risk of extreme depression, aggression, and even violence,” Trump told the annual convention of the National Rifle Association. The comments come as Democrats are mobilizing their urban base by blaming guns for the Nashville shooting of...

The fanatical gender extremism of Team Biden never ends. The latest outburst: Assistant Secretary of Health Rachel Levine’s announcement at a Connecticut children’s hospital that practices “gender affirming” pediatric care — i.e. cross-sex hormones and even surgeries — that these procedures have “support at the highest levels of the federal government.“ “President Biden supports you. I as the Assistant Secretary for Health will support you,” said Levine (who is herself transgender). Parents, science and possible regrets be damned: Get these kids on drugs and the operating table! Remember, Levine’s remarks come amid a global trend of growing, justified skepticism about...
